mysqli is set of functions not a class. The name to connect is mysqli_connect mysqli can be used as either a set of functions ( mysqli_connect(..) ) OR it can be used an an object ( new mysqli(...) ). When used as an object you just use the various functions as methods. http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php Chris.
